Chapter 1504: Chapter 1122: Excellent Doctor Physique

After the reform, Sanbo Hospital radiated unprecedented vitality. Every department head was a passionate young Doctor, knowledgeable with rich clinical experience, and more importantly, they possessed the vision of a leader at a first-class hospital.

The third animal experiment for the K-protein complex treatment of tumors was about to conclude, and the next step would be to enter the first phase of clinical trials. The entire experiment team seemed as if energized beyond measure.

The previous treatment managed to control Sisi’s illness, buying time for the next round of treatment. Fortunately, during this respite, Yang Ping’s tumor treatment project made progress.

Sisi was about to graduate from elementary school and faced the challenge of transitioning to middle school. Although her studies were intense, they would not delay her treatment as she had already self-studied middle school courses. Even if she temporarily withdrew from school now, it would not affect her academic performance. Having endured the toughest and most desperate times, would there still be fear now? Not at all.

The strategies for treating malignant tumors are actually very stable now, it’s just that the specific treatment methods are changing. Surgery can only be highly effective for early-stage, non-metastasized tumors, as at this stage tumor cells are gathered in a cluster and have yet to spread locally or distantly. As long as this cluster is completely resected without causing artificial leakage and seeding during the process, the tumor could be considered cured. But once beyond the early stage and the tumor has spread, its seeds are scattered everywhere, with each capable of growing into a cluster through exponential division. "Wildfire burns endlessly; the spring breeze blows them back to life." At this point, surgery alone is helpless, and other treatment methods must be employed, focusing exploration on "other methods." These range from traditional chemotherapy, radiotherapy to current targeted therapy, biological therapy, immunotherapy, and cell therapy, among others.

The phrase "dread cancer greatly" comes to mind, but if viewed objectively, malignant tumors aren’t as terrifying as imagined. If detected, diagnosed, and treated early, early-stage tumors can be cured surgically. Japan’s gastric and intestinal malignant tumor cure rate exceeds 80%, thanks to the strict and widespread implementation of this early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment plan.

Radiation therapy and its derivative various particle knives essentially remain within the realm of surgical treatment. The difference is that it replaces the metal surgical knife with X-rays, various radiations, and various particles, but in essence, it is still a variant of surgical treatment.

Targeted therapy, on the other hand, falls under the broader category of drug therapy. Its distinction lies in having refined the tool—medications. Targeted therapy drugs possess the ability to precisely identify tumor cells, allowing them to destroy tumor cells while avoiding harm to normal cells, marking a significant advancement. Ordinary chemotherapy drugs lack this precision recognition ability and cover both tumor and normal cells, often destroying the immune system still present in the human body while killing tumor cells, sometimes leading not to treatment but an acceleration of bodily collapse.

Yang Ping’s experiment team couldn’t wait. Even before the third phase animal experiment ended, they brought Sisi into the hospital, initiated various pre-experiment check-ups, and started recruiting volunteers for the first phase clinical trial. The experiment team was eager to proceed to this phase without delay.

For patients, especially ones like Sisi, receiving effective treatment a day earlier means a bit more hope. Sisi was also willing to cooperate with their "torments."

Yang Ping allocated the suite ward at the end of the corridor for Sisi’s use, providing enough space for the experiments and ensuring the privacy of the devoted experimental volunteer Sisi.

After various test results came out, the young Doctors shook their heads and sighed because all the lab reports were either blue or red, not one was clear. A newly joined Master, looking with disdain, glanced at his peers, and said with unusual excitement: "Would it be a patient if everything’s normal? Would they still come to the hospital? Would they need us to treat them? Let me see!"

Holding a stack of test report sheets, the more he looked, the happier he became, his eyes glowing. This mess of data was exactly what he wanted; the messier it was, the more it demonstrated the potential of their treatment methods.

"Great, so many abnormalities," he couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly.

Actually, this young Master’s attitude might seem inhumane, but objectively speaking, such people are most suitable for being doctors. In medicine, there is a psychological state studied particularly about surgeons called "bloodthirsty excitement," where they do not feel nauseous, fearful, or tired when seeing fresh blood during surgery, instead having an innate thrill. Blood in surgery acts as a natural stimulant for such people. They are best suited with the surgeon’s constitution as they can tirelessly work on various surgeries, remaining meticulous and taking pleasure in them.

Yang Ping was exactly such a person. He once suspected himself of having this "bloodthirsty constitution." Every time he encountered high-difficulty patients or complex surgeries, he felt a strong excitement, a desire to conquer the disease, and a curiosity to explore the logic behind the disease.

At one point, he thought he was abnormal, feeling that since the patients were already suffering enough, having no compassion but feeling excitement instead was abnormal, a cruel, inhumane deviant psychology that needed to be suppressed. Yet the more he suppressed it, the more painful it became.
